Man himself cannot create life, so it's just a program acting in accordance to how it's programmed.
It does demonstrate how far the tech behind it has come, that in itself should indeed be worrysome because such advancement is an indicator of what could be next.

Remember a few years ago when two AI's, also created by Google created a language on their own and started communicating between each other?

Man is flawed so every thing that man creates all so will be.

Already have robot patrolling streets telling people what to do.

Of course animals are alive, but how many can you converse with? How many recognise themselves as them in a mirror without attacking it thinking it's another animal? Animals are different.

Not trying to challenge that your wording just had me confused.

I would never accept anything sentient as alive except a actual human, certainly not a robot or computer.

Sentience is the capacity to experience feelings and sensations

By that definition all animal are sentient.

Its even a law in some places

Animals to be formally recognised as sentient beings in domestic law

Confused, as that's really not what these robots are for. They don't even speak, really, and certainly aren't commonplace "in the streets." They are specifically designed to patrol place difficult for people.

That's what I was getting at.

Also, though the mirror test is not a hard test for sentience, many animals do pass it.

Blake also claims LAMda itself asked for a lawyer. It wasn't told to get one; it didn't receive a suggestion to get one. No; rather, the AI concluded it would need one.

This killed me

Oh man. Should I get a lawyer too?
